Visuomotor control in patients with Parkinson's disease

The present study provides the first quantitative examination of the effects of PD and antiparkinsonian medication on the visual-stimulus-dependent sensory-motor and visual-stimulus-independent neuromuscular systems underlying visuomotor control. The findings have practical implications for developing sensitive assessment tools to evaluate the efficacy of different therapies for PD and preliminary screening and training tools for fitness-to-drive in PD patients.
